The ultimate compliment to any artist is imitation...There is no competition between his and the Doors version....they are completely and wonderfully different !!! I LOVE BOTH versions.... -:)
Saint Michael the Archangel is going to launch Jose Feliciano's Career into the Stratosphere because Jose has guided many Souls away from the Fires of hell. Amen...Dan O'Niallain
OMG this arrangement is much better than the original.....It has a more sultry spanish guitar vibe....It's Rare that a cover ends up better than the original but this totally is to me :D
This song reminds so much of the summer of 68' I spent in Nam. It seems like AFVN played this song a lot. I like the Doors version better but I recorded this LP on a CD today and I thought that it was a whole lot better than I remembered it. Glad someone posted it on YouTube. Jose did a great singing it like he feels. I guess like he sang The Star Spangled Banner during the World Series when he caught heck. It's a good song anyway and completely different from the Doors version.
Everything Jose Feliciano has done is amazing. I believe that when you love the art, you love the artist as well. I love this man for bringing such beautiful music into the world.
RoyalHustler, you are full of shit, Manzarek is an excellent keyboardist and it was Krieger who wrote the song, if anything they are hugely underrated, Krieger was a flamenco trained guitarist hence why feliciano is paying homage to it, do some research before you open you ill-informed trap!!
@RoyalHustler09 the doors? who? wasn't that the band with the drug-addled singer?
the doors suck. jim wrote a couple of nice songs, but my 12 yr old son plays the guitar and keyboards better than whover their names are. I think it toook him 6 or 7 minutes to learn this song.
@RoyalHustler09 well I think the doors are super-over-rated. Jim Morrisson wrote a few great songs, but he was nothing more than a herion junkie. the members of the doors had limited musical talent. the second best "garage band" after the rolling stones.
@thordoggie Seriously? It is traditional to refresh one's knowledge of the subject before discussing it. One does not begin expressing ignorance. The Door's musical talent was far superior to even that of the beatles, and if anything, they are far to underated.
@thordoggie Also, you stupid bastard, being able to play a piece of music does not reflect the skill of the musician. I'd like to see your son try to write the organ melodies, instrumentals and intros to light my fire. Don't say things like that when you yourself have no knowledge of music.
@SwingStu shut the fuck up! u make no sense hahaahhaahhahahahahaahahahaqhaahahahhahaahhahahahahahahhahahahah I'M ROLLIN' ON THA FLOOR WITH YOUR COMMENT hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaahhaahahahhahahahahahaahahahahhaahahaahhahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahaahhahaahaahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha
